Hi everyone, greetings from North Yorkshire. We are both recently retired teachers, currently dividing our time between living in the UK and staying with children and grandchildren in Perth, WA. We are a fun-loving, friendly, non-smoking, active couple who enjoy the outdoor life; walking around the beautiful Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors near where we live; keeping our home and garden neat and tidy and exploring the many scenic areas that the UK has to offer.

Why we want to house sit

After both having had hectic lifestyles working in Education, we are now in a situation where we can travel more freely and relax a little. As house sitters, it will also allow likeminded people, to travel and leave on holiday knowing that they don't have to worry about their homes and pets. Having spoken to other holiday makers these are always their major concerns. Hopefully, we can alleviate that!

Our experience

Having worked in Special Education for many years, we have caring and considerate personalities, who can be relied upon to treat people, animals and homes with affection and care. As house owners ourselves, we also appreciate the importance of choosing someone who will look after a home with consideration and respect.

We are experienced sitters, with a flexible approach, having spent the past year caring for a variety of homes and pets around the UK and in Perth, WA. We are both cat lovers but unfortunately, have no experience of looking after dogs (sorry). We are a house proud couple and would treat any home as if it was our own.

We are available from April 2016 and would love to hear from anyone, wishing to go away, who wants to be confident in the safe knowledge that their home will be left in good hands.

I would recommend Andy and Jean to anyone. Andy took the trouble to visit the house a few weeks before my foreign trip (the relatively short distance made this possible) and his experience with cats made him ideal in winning the confidence of my rather paranoid young Tom cat. I especially appreciated the photos of my two cats that were sent me at intervals during my trip, assuring me all was well. Andy and Jean understand perfectly the anxieties and needs of an absent homeowner. They also use their house-sit to explore the local area, so a few recommendation on local walks and attractions will always be welcome.

Jean and Andrew sat for us for a second time. They arrived in good time and we returned to a clean and tidy house and a contented cat. Thanks again. + More
